General Information
Glossary: MCO - Miscellaneous Charges Order
AA issues e-vouchers to those in US 50 states, US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico as of 28 Nov 2019. Printed green vouchers are still used for those residing elsewhere at this time.
Transportation vouchers issued by American Airlines or American Eagle® are valid for travel on American Airlines, American Eagle and American Airlines codeshare flights (AA*).
These vouchers are also valid for travel on oneworld® itineraries (including oneworld affiliates that must be booked as a codeshare flight marketed by a oneworld carrier) where American Airlines or American Airlines codeshare flights (AA*) is the international carrier.
Note: For oneworld itineraries, international flights are defined as transatlantic, transpacific and flights to and from South America. Flights to and from Alaska, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, or Central America are not included.
Travel agents may accept American Airlines vouchers (042/043) for full or partial payment for a ticket as an "exchange" document/ticket. If the voucher is less than the ticket the additional monies are collected. If the voucher exceeds the ticket cost an MCO will be issued for the difference as a residual indicating non-refundable and for American Airlines transportation only. Valid one year from date of issue ((you must encumber the voucher before one year has expired since issuance*). There is no change fee / ASC associated with using a voucher. Updated 18 Feb 2015.)

FAQ: AA Vouchers
Q. How do vouchers work on AA?
They are treated just like cash towards valid purchases.
Q. What can I use the vouchers on?
Yes, travel vouchers can be used toward the American Airlines and American Eagle flight portion of your trip, but may not be used to purchase any of the non-flight components of your trip such as hotels, rental cars, transfers, activities or insurance. Travel vouchers are not currently accepted online, but may be redeemed by calling AAVacations at 1-800-489-4810.
Q. Can I use the vouchers for ANYTHING else?
No.
Q. Really?
Yes, really.
Q. Are there restrictions on purchasing airfare?
Unlike other airlines that place restrictions on certain fares/dates/times/routes, AA vouchers are just like cash, so you can use them to buy all fares that are available for purchase.
Q. How long do I have to use the vouchers?
One (1) year from date of issuance.
Q. I can't use my voucher in time. How can I extend the expiration date?
AA automatically extended the expiration of some vouchers in 2021. If your expiration date was between January 1, 2021 and May 31, 2021, the new expiration is March 31, 2022.
If you still need to extend the expiration, spend at least part it on any of its valid uses listed above. For example, pay for a cheap throwaway ticket, a speculative ticket, or a 500-mile upgrade certificate. Any unused amount will be sent to you as a new voucher with a new 1-year expiration date.
Q. What if I lose a voucher?
Sorry, you're out of luck. Treat your vouchers like cash.
Q. Can I use the vouchers to buy tickets for someone else?
While vouchers are non-transferable, you may buy a ticket in someone else's name, so long as you are the one presenting the voucher (either by phone or personally at a ticket counter/office). If someone else presents the voucher, the ticket MUST be issued in the name of that on the voucher.
Q. Is there a fee for using the vouchers?
It appears that ticketing at an airport ticket office is still subject to a charge of $30, unless you are EXP.
Note that if you are EXP, these "booking" fees are waived (and any Agent that tells you otherwise is wrong). (thanks SquareDanceGuy)
Note that if you have booked the ticket online and go to the airport to apply a voucher, there are no fees either, regardless of status. (thanks RogerD408)
Q. What happens to the taxes?
This depends on the type of voucher. The following voucher codes are exempt from some of the taxes: Basically, if you use these vouchers to pay for the whole cost of your fare, you will lower the overall costs as some of the taxes do not apply. (thanks uncle wiggly) If you make a partial payment with vouchers, then the associated taxes will likewise be reduced by the same proportional amount. (thanks marshall)
OU is the only voucher taxable, as it's issued against the unused portion of a ticket that has been exchanged (amongst other things). (thanks hillrider)
Q. What if the value of my vouchers exceed the value of my fare? Do I lose it? (thanks ffay005)
Unlike some* other airlines, you do NOT lose the residual value of your vouchers. If the residual value is more than $5, AA will mail you another voucher back as change, and this voucher is valid for one (1) year after its issuance. (thanks whynotfly) *golfmad added the word "some" based on post #440.
Q. How many vouchers can I use at one time?
According to one AAgent, nine (9) was the maximum number of vouchers accepted by the system.
Q. I bought AA tickets from a 3rd party (e.g., travel agent, internet travel site, Priceline/Hotwire). Can I use the vouchers retroactively?
No.
Q. How long does it take to process the vouchers?
After they receive the vouchers, AA will process them within 1-3 days, so it's really dependent on how long it takes the mail to arrive to Florida. AA reservations will accept the vouchers for a phone booking, if the reservation made is at least 12 days prior to departure. It's recommended that if you need to ticket within 2 weeks that you go directly to an Airport Ticket Office, which can process your voucher/s immediately.
Q. How do I apply vouchers to a reservation I have on hold on AA.com?
US: up-to-date in March 2021, UK: up-to-date in January 2022
American Airlines
M.D. 8A701
Fort Worth, TX 76155
USA
The return address for those in the UK and the rest of Europe, who have agreed to send their voucher(s) to AA in the UK, is:
American Airlines
100 Old Hall Street
The Plaza, 7th floor
Liverpool L3 9QJ
United Kingdom
On the envelope under the return address, write:
<Date of first flight, in DD Month format (e.g. 01 Jan)>
Attach a sticky note to the vouchers with the following details:
<First flight number, e.g. AA1234>
<Last name>
<Booking record locator, AKA booking reference>
(Notice: vouchers are not processed sequentially based on date of the voucher/s being received by AA, but rather on flight dates. Flights may show as "Ticket Pending" once the voucher has been applied, and at some time prior to flight (two weeks is usual) it will show "Ticketed" and you should be able to see your ticket number, beginning with "001", in your receipt from your itinerary at aa.com or in your e-Ticket. Also notice that you should photocopy your voucher/s prior to mailing them.)
Q. What if I entered a Business Extra number?
You will have to contact Business Extra to apply the vouchers. Their number is 1-800-433-1790, and they are available 5:00 AM - 12:00 PM, CT, 7 days a week.
Q. What if I live outside the United States and I want to use vouchers?
As the vouchers are in US Dollars, it's probably most convenient to call the US reservations number for a new booking denoted in US Dollars, thus avoiding any currency conversion, except any associated with your credit card. You can call your local reservations number or visit a local Airport Ticket Office (ATO). Beware that there's not a large network of ATOs.
In all likelihood, you will be asked to mail your voucher(s) to AA, so if time is of the essence, you should consider going directly to an ATO, who can process it/them immediately.
Q. How do vouchers work on AA?
They are treated just like cash towards valid purchases.
Q. What can I use the vouchers on?
- Airfare on American Airlines (inc. American Eagle), codeshares, and oneworld itineraries where AA is the international/"governing" carrier.
- 500-mile domestic upgrade stickers (at the airport only).
- Co-payments for upgrades or reduced mileage awards.
- Excess baggage fees.
- Special handling fees (e.g. checked pets), with a traveling passenger (i.e. not cargo).
- Change fees, provided an additional collection of the fare is also being made.
- In the UK, Belgium, Germany and France, vouchers are accepted for Net fares.
- In Switzerland, vouchers are accepted on Q and L class Net fares only.
- In Ireland, vouchers are accepted in Q, O and L class Net fares only.

- Give them the PNR and tell them you would like to apply vouchers.
- They will give you instructions on how to send the vouchers in.

Hello AA, 1984 called and wonders why you're still using paper vouchers that can't be redeemed online for refunds. Snail mail the voucher to me, so I can snail mail it back to you? Really? How does this save either of us money?

What to do with Travel Vouchers now ?
As AA removed the option of Hold, what's the best way to redeem the vouchers now? I used to hold the ticket and drive to the nearby airport to use the voucher, but apparently that's no longer an option

As of now, the Hold option is still available (I just used it yesterday). So depending on when you want to use the vouchers, you may still be able to utilize that method.

Calling AA and letting them know you are using a voucher got you an almost unlimited hold. So rushing to the airport was not needed. For now, AA will continue the 24-hour hold in addition to the fee-free cancellation. Using the expected time to mail in the voucher to schedule the airport trip is still an option.

I was still able to hold a reservation online today (Apr 5) and then called in.
My question is
1. Do I need to send the whole book or just one piece of the transportation voucher itself?
2. The Wiki says write
<Last Name>
<First Flight No>
<Date of first flight, in DD Mon format (e.g., 01 Jan)>
Do I also need to write PNR under the return address?
My agent told me to write name and PNR on a separate paper and include it in the envelope, too. Is that necessary?
3. I wonder how people send the voucher. I'm thinking to use USPS First-Class Mail Envelope with Certified Mail. Hope it's enough...

2. The info on the envelope should point them to the actual reservation. Adding additional information would not hurt, just make sure it doesn't conflict with anything in the reservation (names, dates, flight no).
3. USPS should be fine. Do opt for a level of service that includes tracking information back to you, so you have proof of mailing and receipt. Also, keep a copy of the voucher in case it goes astray. They should accept the copy closer to travel date and they can prove it hasn't been used elsewhere.
Should you have an AA serviced airport near you (or AA City Ticket Office), you can walk the voucher into the ticket counter and hopefully find a TA that knows how to process them.

I recently exchanged a DV voucher at the BUF ticket counter. It helped that I went in the afternoon when it was dead and the agents were relaxed. My voucher was greater than the base fare so I pointed out that some taxes should be waived. They weren't aware of that rule, but acknowledged it after looking it up in the system. All it took was a phone call to the tariff desk who stored the adjusted fare and then the agent was able to issue the ticket. I got an OU voucher for the small residual amount.
As stated in the wiki, these taxes got removed:
US1, US2 (Intl & Alaska/Hawaii), AY, ZP
The foreign taxes and airport fees weren't waived. I was pleasantly surprised at how painless the process was overall. Three agents huddled around the computer - it was nice to see them eager to learn how to process it! My advice is to go to the ticket counter when it's quiet and ask the agent to call the tariff desk to adjust the fare. The system doesn't remove the taxes automatically.

I tried to use an OU voucher at EWR yesterday. Ticketing agent and supervisor both said that since it was > $1,000, I had to go back to the issuing location to use it. How practical. Never heard that before, and neither did the EXP desk when I called from the ticket counter to see if they could make anything happen.
EWR still wouldn't budge so after some pressing, I got the EXP desk to extend the 24 hour hold on a fare that had since increased and would have expired last night. I'll ticket in NYC office today, they seem to be pros with processing vouchers.
Not sure if they were concerned with risk/fraud at EWR but they claimed that vouchers should be issued in max $1000 denominations. Quite a hassle and a waste of time...when are the e-vouchers coming?

Airport agents are very good at making up excuses as to why they can't process a voucher. Instructions are online and they can call their help desk if there is an issue. Now maybe EWR does have such a rule, but it should still be reported to AA for action if inappropriate. Going back to place of issue is just plain ridiculous, but I guess they had to think quick.

I am sure thousands of dollars of VDB or residual vouchers expire all of the time.
Then, at some point later, the ticket is ticketed. I am not sure of the delta between the two steps.
There is nothing you can do unless the ticket is not ticketed by 24 hours prior to travel. Then, when you call at that point they can see if the voucher was received and then can do something to get it forced through the ticketing process. Based on your earlier post, the process timeline seems normal.
Of course, I had a ticket not ticket once at 24 hours prior to travel (four weeks advance reservation and sending the voucher). The phone agents got it finally finished, but checking or calling otherwise prior did not do anything.
You should get the email confirmation automatically when the Pensacola office is done with the voucher processing.

So, in my experience there is a 'logging' of the voucher process received (maybe they just look at the envelope or they check for the new PNR).

I also noticed that SWUs were already pulled from our accounts (Upgrades confirmed when booking).
